Traffic Violations

May 23rd, 2010

This is not an all inclusive list of traffic offenses, but will give you an idea of how to code your violations to help you figure out, if necessary, the level of waiver you may require, and who the waiver authority may be when you use the moral waiver guide.

Note: Parking violations, warning tickets, and faulty equipment tickets are no longer considered minor traffic offenses for any applicant regardless of program rating; except for the Navy Nuclear Field. They do not have to be waived for enlistment purposes, no matter how long ago they occurred.

    If you have a traffic citation that is a double violation, does that count as 1 or 2 offenses towards requiring a waiver?

  2. NCCM(ret) says:

    Brian,

    If it is two separate acts, then it is two separate tickets. For example, if you received a reckless driving ticket and a speeding ticket (the speeding for exceeding the limit, and the reckless driving because you were way over the limit, but no associated with anything else except excessive speed) then it may count as one. It will all depend on the circumstances.

  3. Brian says:

    I got a double violation citation for speeding and not pulling over to the right (I pulled over to the left when the officer flashed his lights). Since I pulled over for speeding, then it counts as one because they are related acts, correct?

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Brian,

    Speeding is one offense, it is not related to the pulling over which is a separate physical act from the speeding – it would be two separate violations.
